Greetings,
A simple encounter with God in worship can change your life!
Proverbs 16:6 (NKJV) – “In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.”
The Bible says that the ‘fear’ of the Lord causes us to depart from evil. What does that mean? This type of fear refers to reverence for God, or to be in ‘awe’ of God.
In Isaiah, chapter 6, the prophet’s life was radically transformed when he saw the Lord, high and lifted up. Apparently, Isaiah’s speech had been unclean because this encounter with God cleansed his lips!
Can you imagine what would happen if each of us had such a personal encounter with God and just our speech was impacted? Wouldn’t the world be a much better place if the only thing we got from an encounter with God was that everyone began to speak words that were kind and encouraging?
Father, we desire to know You and lift You so high, that You will be enthroned in our praise. We desire to worship You with all of our hearts!
Today, I’m worshiping with One Voice Children’s Choir and “I Can Only Imagine.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
Have you ever noticed the connection between the Presence of God and prosperity?
Psalm 132:13-16 (NKJV) – “For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: [14] "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. [15] I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.”
Wherever God’s Presence is enthroned and His principles are practiced, poverty will soon be banished. When we seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all the other things we desire will become bonuses.
But if we seek other things first—instead of God’s Presence, life becomes a daily struggle. When we do not exalt Him, we must deal with unrighteousness, fear, and discord, then the terrible by-products of poverty and emptiness.
Father, I claim the blessings and prosperity of Your Kingdom over my life and family today. I will honor and live by the principles of Your Word. Help me to live under an open heaven of favor.
Today, I’m worshiping with William McDowell and “Hymn of Praise.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
Did you think to speak God’s blessings upon you and your family today? If not, why not form a new habit and begin each day with prayer, reading the Word of God, and speaking blessing, favor and abundance upon yourself and your family!
Proverbs 18:20 (NKJV) – “A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.”
Whatever your lips speak is what your life becomes full of. So, how does that work? God has placed within us that same power He used to speak the worlds into existence. And that’s how we speak our world into existence with the words we say! Speak faith and peace, joy and hope, and love and comfort.
Father, today I speak abundant blessings, unparalleled favor, and undeserved grace and protection over my life and my loved ones. Thank You for giving us such amazing power!
Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and “Praise Him.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
In Exodus 33:18 (NKJV), Moses prayed, “God, please, show me Your glory."
Moses wanted to move beyond just serving God, to experiencing the very ‘Glory,’ or the Presence of God. And that is what we need today! When the members of our Lord’s church see His Glory, it will radically change every one of us—and every nation!
People are looking for those who aren’t just ‘playing’ church, but are very serious about ‘knowing’ God. A congregation that has never been introduced to His Glory is powerless to change the evils of our sinful world.
Did you know that when God’s Spirit was poured out at Azusa Street in 1906, His people encountered the Manifest Presence of His Glory? They forgot about racial pride and began to love everyone—whether they were black, brown or white! Think about it: historically when revival broke out and God’s Glory was revealed, crime decreased and people wanted to go to worship!
God, we want You to show us Your Glory! We ask You to transform the church by the Glory of Your Presence! In turn, let us transform Your world.
Today, I’m worshiping with Earnest Pugh and “Show Me Your Glory.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
